Publisher's summary

Captain John “Black Jack” Geary has come home after a century of cryogenic sleep to find the war between the Alliance and the Syndicate Worlds still raging.

A legendary hero, he is promoted to fleet admiral—even though the ruling council fears he may stage a military coup.

Geary has never fought for the sake of glory. His new rank means only that he has the authority to negotiate with the Syndics, who have suffered tremendous losses and may finally be willing to end the war. With grim determination, Geary leads the fleet back out into Syndic space.

This seasoned commander knows surrender never comes easy. But even as he steels himself to confront the immediate enemy, he is all too aware that a greater alien threat lurks on the far side of Syndic-occupied space.

Victorious is a great ending to the Lost Fleet series

I loved this book. It skillfully finished the Lost Fleet series. This whole series is incredibly creative and fun to read. I particularly liked the more realistic science of space travel in this series. I heard that there are spin-off series as well. I will listen to them as well as soon as I re-listen to The Lost Fleet series!

Good conclusion

Solid conclusion to this series. A little predictable but good setup for the continuing saga.

book 7?

I wish there was a book 7 in the series. I'm interested how the peace will work out.

More to come, thankfully

I really enjoyed this series. Well thought out and written well. Looking forward to the next series.

Great series

Love the series. Brings honor and dedication to duty to a high level. Battle scenarios show foresight.

Great finish to an excellent series!

This fun sci-fi makes me hunger for the next series. Captain John Geary is a great tactician that listens to advice and has pretty good morals. He even experiences sting from a relational mistakes earlier in the series.

Most of how he portrays people's emotions and thinking is right on. Only occasionally would I think that a response was rushed or slightly inconsistent with the character in the story.

There is so little language that it seems to be required by the publisher, but it isn't necessary to be a great series!

For a final novel in the series, needed more

It feels a little cut short, and I wish we had a few more of the excellent armada battles and though there was nothing cheap about the final solutions for the Syndics and the mysterious alien race I wish we had had more complications and a few more setbacks instead of near unanimous success.

Still, a good read if you've made it this far (or listen, the Audible is excellent). I took off 1.5 stars, 3.5/5, for not being a more ambitious final novel but was happy for the journey!

Ugh. Are we in Highschool now?

Narrator is awesome.  The rest is a hot mess.
I got all of these on a major sale, but even then it was a waste of money.

Once again, the MC shows absolutely no spine and is henpecked by the two leading female leads.  What's worse is that "admiral" Geary gets railroaded into combat decisions by his junior officers.  Either he can "do no wrong" or "his hands are tied".  It all depends on what the plot needs and doesn't follow consistent logic.
